Marriages in Greenland.

One of the Danish missionaries in
Greenland states that since the mis-
sionaries have won the confidence of
the natives they have had duty laid
upon them which they never contem-
plated at the beginning of their mis-
sion. The preacher is not only the
minister of the gospel, but is invaria-
bly, resorted to both by young men and
maidens as the matrimonial agent. A
young man comes to the missionary
house and says to him: Il want to
marry" ''Whom?" asks the mission
airy. Have YOU anyone in mindP"
Yes" answers the lover; "but she
will not have me. l want you to speak
to her." Have you not spoken for
yourself?" MANY times; but she al
ways says No! Nor" That is moth
ing" says the pastor; ''you know the
way of maidens. Does she like you?"
''It is difficult to find out. She will
tell you" The pastor accordingly
sends for the girl, who comes willingly
enough, knowing what the message
means. "Well, my daughter" he OBJ
serves, sit is time that you should
think of marriage" II never mean
to marry" is her invariable and con-
ventional answer. THAT is a pity"
says the minister, because / have a
good husband for thee" who is he, :"
she asks. The missionary then tells
her his name although she knows it
as well as he does-and launches out
in the lovers praise. He is strong,
good looking, kindly; he caught two
fine whales when his companions took
none, or whatever else can be said to
his repute. After the catalogue of his
merits has been recited the girl replies:
''But | think him a good-for-nothing."
''Ah, well" says the missionary,
Thou art not wise. There is no lad
can fling a harpoon as he can. / shall
soon find him wife" He then wishes
the girl good day, affecting to be-
lieve that the interview is over. But
she is sure to linger, and after blush
and sigh, she whispers. $50 it is
particularly your wish, Herr PastorP
do not quite like him." with a deep
sigh, ''but if you" At this point
she virtually hands over the business
to the minister, who has to tell her
that she knows she loves the lad, that
she would not have come if she had
not thought of accepting him, and
that nothing is wanting but to ask the
blessing of God upon their union.
The marriage, curiously enough, usu-
ally takes place upon the very day on
which the bride has emphatically pro-
tested that she will never have the
bridegroom.

In her play of divorce" Monday night
and "A Wife's PeriP' last night, she fairly
captivated the large audiences present
Judging from the continued applause which
greeted her after every act and which re-

Is safe to say she is one of the most charm
ing young actresses who has visited the city
in many a season; and the managers of the
Opera House should receive their full share
Of praise for procuring a troupe for Fan
Week that gives such universal satisfaction
to the theatre going public. The support
of Miss Holman is frst-class in every re
spect. The exceedingly fine orchestra
which accompanies the troupe is without
exception one of the finest that has evel
been in the opera House and it will repay
anyone to go and hear it. Miss Holman
will remain in the city the rest of the week
An attractive programme will be presented
